Edit button don't work on my phone, but how about

wedge, swarm tactics

Biggs

Blue

Blue

lets me have two ships firing first near enough, but that may be enough to finish a ship off to stop it firing at me

Biggs

3 points left for funsies.

I've been thinking about such a build myself. Here is the list I'm play testing now:

Wedge+R5+Determination

Biggs

Blue Sqd.

Gold Sqd.+Blaster Turret

But I also like the idea of:

Wedge+R5+Determination

Biggs+R2-D2

Prototype

Gold Sqd.+(R2 or R5)+Blaster Turret

Biggs is a pain in the butt to kill when he has R2-D2's help. The Wedge build is equally a pain in the butt. Can't tell you how many crits I've negated with that build.

you mean 4 pts

Usually it would be when I ran this list R2-F2 on Biggs and R2 Astro on Wedge. Alternatively you could put Push the Limit on Wedge instead of giving Biggs an Astro.

A more aggressive version is

Wedge w/Swarm Tactics

Garven

Biggs

Gold Squadron

I have switched away from a wedge 4 x-wgin list and gravitated towards

Luke

-Swarm

Garven

Red

Rookie

Everyone fires at PS4 or greater. It annihilates the wedge/biggs 4 x-wing list.

you mean 4 pts

Nope!

I forgot to mention I usually run it at 99pts. :)

Biggs is not a pain when he get focus fired at in round 2 or 3 lol

I got my Wedge focused down in round 3 last night...was a depressing sight.

My Wedge squad is my best rebel squad

Wedge + Swarm

Roark + Recon + Blaster

You initially will shoot 12, 9, 9, 4. Very strong possibility of killing a ship before it fires in first engagement.

Like it a lot too! Looks fun!

How about a small change

wedge,swarm

roark,ion turret (i don't like the idea that if he crashes etc, he cant shoot)

blue

blue

point to spare, where shall i chuck it?

I did have ion on him in my earlier versions of this squad (on my 3rd version now), but I like that the blaster gives you the option to give 2 or 3 damage instead of just 1 with the ion, plus the chance of criticals as well.

Crashing is a potential problem, but I've had it happen very few times actually, and when I do it often means i'm in range 1 of some other ship then so 2 dice attack is still decent for a round.

I won a tournament last weekend using this list.

Wedge Antilles/X-Wing (29)

R2 Astromech (1)
Veteran Instincts (1) (This was over-kill and would try something else next time)

Luke Skywalker/X-Wing (28)

R2-D2 (4)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
Deadeye (1) (This didn't help much and I'd probably swap it for something else)
Biggs Darklighter/X-Wing (25)
R5-D8 (3)
Shield Upgrade (4)

R2 Astromech on Wedge? Or maybe Nien on Roark?

Trade Deadeye for Draw Their Fire, and the Proton Torps for a Shield Upgrade.

That steals the crits from Wedge/Biggs, where the crit will hit your shields, which will then regenerate. A super potent combo.
